I agree completely!!!! How can anyone kill something that's ALIVE????? It's evil!!! And if you REALLY didn't want the baby, put it up for adoption! I really hate abortion... Thank you for agreeing with me! You're MY hero!!! whee

Awww wow. Alrighteh, you put up some awesome points.. in fact it's kind of hard to argue but think about it for a second,
I believe, for sure, killing anything alive is a horrible thing to do but there's other things to put into consideration.
First of all, what if the girl/woman was raped at a very young age.. mabe only 13 or 14ish... they'd have to go through nine months of (in most cases) pain, vomiting and lots of gaining weight(which will be extra hard to put off after). And let's not even get into how horrible child lador would be, esspecially when the girl's not fully grown or developed yet.
There's also social standards. I mean, when you see a young girl pregnant, you'll just about always think the worst of her.
Thirdly, if she keeps the baby, it'll be alot of work and expesses if she wants to keep the baby safe and raise them right... some are lucky enough to have other family members who help though.
And if she decides to put the baby up for adoption, she's pretty much giving away all her hard work to a place that could treat her child very poorly and taking a huge risk.. normally to never see it again.
I guess if the girl decides to give her baby to a family that want's a child, that prolly wouldn't be too bad, as long as she knew her child was in good, safe hands.

Morgo, you'd be a good Dad xP heart

I agree. Pro-choice = Anti-life. stressed They just won't admit it because it sounds too condemning.

Just heard on the news today that some lady gave birth to a baby, stuck it under the sink and let it die. Now she's being charged with murder. What the Hell is up with that? If she got her baby killed in an abortion clinic, she wouldn't be in any legal trouble at all. confused Sooooo contradictive.

And for the rape thing, that happens less than 3% of the time, so that really can't be a factor. Women ARE using abortion as BIRTH CONTROL, simply because the baby would be an inconvenience for them. That disgusts me.

I believe abortion is ok on ONE condition-

THE MOM WILL DIE IF SHE HAS THE KID.
THAT IS THE ONLY REASON.

But, I believe that we need to have abortion around until we find something that fixes it, like
a FETAL TRANSFER.
they take the Fetus, put it in another woman to have it.
Done.

[QUOTE]WTF is up with some people! How is it all fine and good to destroy a helpless life before it gets chance.[/QUOTE] A fetus is not a baby--it's a fetus. It is not yet conscious, it has no awareness; it is simply a lump of undeveloped flesh. Abortions early on in the pregnancy should be legal, as removing said lump of flesh would be some what like killing bacteria when one is cleaning. It may sound horrible or heartless to some, but it doesn't stop it from being factual. [QUOTE]now I don't hate people that are just pro choice nearly as much as the pro choice gains [/QUOTE] Gaians aren't people? Oh, alright. [QUOTE]because they don't parade it around saying that they think everyone should kill babies.[/QUOTE] Generally, they will give their opinion when it is asked of them. As I have stated once before: A fetus isn't a baby--it's a fetus. It is not alive in the way that humans or animals are. People who are pro-choice are not stating that people should kill babies; they are merely stating that it is up to the almost-parents to decide the fate of what will be their future child. If they don't want it, it makes sense to me that they'd rather terminate it than put it up for adoption, so as to spare it the pain of knowing that its parents never wanted it in the first place. [QUOTE]Preventing life is just as bad as stopping it when it has already started.[/QUOTE] Preventing life is the same as stopping it when it has already started. :| Or, actually, preventing life would be masturbating (for a man, as when he ejaculates he is killing what could have pontentially been a human being), using a condom, or a woman getting her tubes tide. ... So, to you that is as 'bad' as terminating a fetus? [QUOTE]You think life is like a new toy at christmas that if you don't wnat it you can just return it![/QUOTE] Not at all, but going by your logic: So does everyone in the entire ******** world. You cannot tell me that you have never eaten something that was once alive, or that you have never killed an insect that bothered you in some way or another. You are killing billions of bacteria when you take medicine or do something as simple as brushing your teeth. Sure, I know; they aren't the same as living, speaking human beings. Well, neither are fetuses. [QUOTE]It is a fragile thing that should be trated with tender love and care.[/QUOTE] Do you seriously believe that that is what will happen to a child when their parents don't want it? The child will be neglected or treated like a piece of s**t, or herded from orphanage to orphanage until someone they don't even know finds them attractive or personable enough to adopt them. That's horrible. [QUOTE]I dont care if they were raped or no. That doesn't mean they shouldn't have the baby![/QUOTE] You will never have any idea of what it is like to be raped and impregnated; why do you think it is up to you to decide whether or not the mother has to raise a child on her own, constantly having the child there as a reminder of how she was hurt in the past? Why should the mother have to go through nine more months of agonizing pain if she doesn't want to? Why should she have to be faced with something as terrible as that? If she was still a teenager, she'd have to drop out of school. She'd have to forget all her dreams, and would never be able to acquire the job she'd always wanted. Her life would be ruined, and she'd have to support herself and her child, essentially without the help of another. Her entire future would be destroyed, and it wouldn't be because she was being irresponsible; it would be because some disgusting man decided that he wanted to have his way with her, and because abortion had been outlawed. That's something you'll never have to put up with, and I think it's quite stupid of you to appear to assume that it'd be simple and easy to handle. [QUOTE]But they can at least put it up for adoption or give it to a non fertile woman when it is born![/QUOTE] Finding responsible orphanages to take the child is not easy. I don't know nearly enough about it, so really there's not much to say that I haven't already said about the issue. How many non-fertile women do you know of that'd take the baby of a mother who didn't want the child? Seriously. [QUOTE]The only case in which abortion is understandable is if the mother will surely die if she doesnt abort the baby.[/QUOTE] Oh, so trading a life for a life is ok? The baby doesn't matter as much as the mother? I thought all life was precious? I thought the baby should be given the chance to live, because it's so helpless? Why bring another worthless life into the world if no one wants it? Oh, and: I would not be here right now if my mother hadn't of had an abortion when she was 18. I was born two years afterwards, which more than likely would not have happened if she had decided to keep the child. Getting an abortion [I]could[/I] mean giving life to another undeveloped/unconceived child. Oh yes, for those of you who want to play the religious card: The Bible implies/states that everything is predetermined; if the mother aborts the fetus, it was "God's" will. If you are so against taking away the life of an innocent who has not yet been able to experience the "joys" of life, what kind of God do [I]you[/I] worship?

I think abortion is alright only if your like a 13 year old who was raped by some creepy a** guy. NOt if your some whore who sleeps around. It horrible to end a life that you started(Unless yor a 13 year old who was raped). It's jsut really stupid and it shows that you are either really iresponsable or immature
